BEAVER DAM, Ky. — Fully licensed and staffed, Kentucky's first legal medical cannabis dispensary is poised to open in a former post office as soon as product arrives from state-approved cultivators, its owner said.

What You Need To Know

  • The Post Dispensary operates in a former U.S. Post Office in Beaver Dam, commissioned in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy

  • It is Kentucky’s only fully licensed medical cannabis retailer

  • Owner Tripp Hoffman said the facility is staffed and ready, targeting late November for opening once lab-tested product arrives from state-approved cultivators

  • Patients show ID and medical card, browse via touch-screen kiosks and receive pre-picked baskets at the counter in under five minutes; ages 18 through 20 face product limits

Tripp Hoffman, owner and manager of The Post Dispensary, said the facility in Beaver Dam is ready to begin sales within days of receiving inventory.

He anticipates opening in late November, delayed from an earlier October target after cultivators harvested crops in September but required additional time for testing and processing.
